Jesus On Divorce

Before we consider the subject of divorce, it is important to understand what marriage is. God made man male and female and God instituted marriage. Biblical marriage is a permanent relationship between one man and one woman, which should only be brought to an end by death. In our world, all are in rebellion against God. This is our natural disposition. Psalm 2 speaks of the rulers of this world conspiring against the LORD and his Christ, seeking freedom from God's laws. We have seen national leaders pushing for same sex marriage; it was legalised in England in 2014 and now it is legal in the Isle of Man. The legacy of current world leaders is that of rebellion. We are to pray for our rulers, that they might repent from this rebellion. Marriage is a picture of the church: It points to the Lord Jesus Christ and it illustrates the relationship he has with his church.
